This is from Tessa's point of view.


1.6 – The Man in the Wall – Tessa

A couple of months ago Seeley got a new partner. It didn't bother me at first he didn't seem to like her very much. However, a couple of months ago he started talking about her more and more often. At first it was just about the gross body that they brought in a how she wouldn't flinch. Then it was something she did that he didn't understand. Then it was how she could not possibly understand some reference he'd made. Before long he was talking about her when ever we did anything.

It was when she called in the middle of dinner and he had to go, it couldn't have waited until we were done, he just paid the bill and dragged me to the crime scene. When we got there, the agent that met us was concerned with her ability to work on this case because she appeared to be high. I could see what the agent meant when we got to the bottom of the stairs.

Dr. Brennan's pupils were the size of saucers; she was twitchy and pacing all over the place, interrupting the agents, interrupting Seeley. Yet he couldn't actually stop watching her, I decided it was time for me to leave, and he barely took two seconds to say good-bye to me. He did the right thing giving me a cab fare and kissing me goodbye. But he was more concerned with Dr. Brennan.

We were planning a vacation together, and I had been excited to go until I'd actually seen him interact with Dr. Brennan. That and one of the girls in the lab said something about moving in together, which I am not ready for as long as he's looking at Dr. Brennan instead of me in when we're in the same room.

I told him that a work thing came up and couldn't go with him anymore. I know he went on the trip anyway, just like I know that he talked to Dr. Brennan before he left and not me. I started to distance myself spending less and less time with him once he got back, he was spending more and more time with Dr. Brennan, I'm not sure he even noticed. Eventually we broke up, decided to go our separate ways. It was for the best he seems only to be concerned with his partner.
